Rebecca

"On campus, there are so many things to do on a Friday night that don't include drinking. Recently, the fashion magazine on campus (which I write for) had a launch party that included a documentary screening and live music. It was so much fun dressing up with my friends, and we had an amazing time listening to music and sipping sparkling cider. We felt very sophisticated by the end of the night!"

"I’m often sober at parties because I strongly believe there should always be a responsible person in the group making sure everyone's safe! Recently my friend had a beach-themed party (she has an indoor pool so everyone could swim!) and I was the designated sober person. Just being around all my friends dressed in their silly beach costumes was enough fun for me! "

"For New Year's Eve, three of my girlfriends and I went on a midnight road trip to the beach a few hours away. It was really awesome because it gave us all a chance to listen to old music and talk and catch up like in high school! By the time we arrived there, early the next morning, we got to see the sun rise over the ocean! It ended up being a really gorgeous and fun time that I'll always look back on fondly."

"One night, we went out to a friend's apartment where they had the most adorable and playful boxer! My friends and I fell in love because we're all missing our dogs back home. It felt nice to be in a home-type setting with friends instead of in a stuffy dorm room! We talked about all the stupid mistakes we made last semester and how exciting it was being on our own at first. We left that night knowing we picked great friends to spend our freshman year with!"

"My friends and I were having a blast at a highlighter party when all of a sudden the music speakers stopped working. Someone turned the lights on, and everyone stood there awkwardly scanning the room. I knew it was too early for the night to end, so I did the first thing that came to mind: I started singing a go-to party song! At first the people around me looked at me like I was crazy, but soon enough the whole room was singing along. Luckily, the music issue got fixed, and the party picked up where it left off."

"As an athlete, I miss out on tons of parties—and even when I do get to attend them, I have to be really careful about the decisions I make. An easy way I’ve learned to stay out of trouble is by replacing an alcoholic beverage in a red solo cup with a Gatorade or water. Having this trick up my sleeve has made tons of sober party moments not only easy, but also fun! I avoid peer pressure and still can play all of the fun games with my friends. The best part is how hydrated I feel the next morning while some others can’t get out of bed!"

"Working 30 hours a week doesn't leave much time for partying and going out, so when my coworkers set up a store 'game night' I was hesitant. It ended up being the highlight of my weekend! I got a chance to see my coworkers out of their normal roles and we all had a blast. We played board games and COD, barbecued, and had a huge raffle—all in the middle of the store! So glad I decided to go."

Claire

"Before exams, when everyone locks themselves in dorm rooms and the library, UVA has an event called Lighting of the Lawn. Thousands of people fill the Lawn (which is the centerpiece of the UVA campus) to listen to a capella groups, drink hot chocolate, and watch as lights strung all over the surrounding buildings become illuminated. They even had a light show timed to "All of the Lights" by Kanye West, and all the students ran up to the Rotunda and started dancing! It was a super fun experience and made me love my school even more!"

Bernadette

"My best sober party moment was line dancing with friends. We danced the Cha Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle, and Wobble. It really was super-fun and an all-around good time!"

Jasmine

"When I was home recently, I went to a party that had this really fun photo shoot corner where everyone got to dress up and take pictures. It was a really fun way to relax and hang out with friends, as well as make new ones! I don't drink, and I don't really enjoy being around drunk people, so I really appreciated this alternative activity!"

Jennifer

"When our plans fell through one night, a few girls and I ended up having the weirdest, funniest night ever just wandering through campus! Somehow, by the end of the night, we had a bunch of free pizza coupons for Domino's and the numbers of half of the school baseball team."

Lesley

"I brought the classic gaming console Gamecube and the games Mario
Party 7, Mario Kart Double Dash, and Super Smash Brothers Melee with
me to college. Each floor of my dorm has a social room, so we set up
my TV and the Gamecube and had a video game tourny. Needless to say, I
was beast! ;)"

"One Thursday night, instead of going out, my friends and I threw a mini dorm-room party! My friend Ben had a strobe light, which we brought down to my other friend's room. We put music on really loud (I'm not sure how we didn't get a noise complaint, but then again, things get pretty obnoxious up here in the dorms on Thursdays!) and just danced and sang and had a good time with each other."
